a project to "commemorate 70,273 voiceless, powerless people who were so callously and casually murdered by the Nazis because physically or mentally disabled – men, women, teens, boys, and girls"

For the people that think that "many sides" have to be called out...

For the people that think that "they had a permit, the others didn't have a permit"...

I want you to remember that the paperwork to murder 70273 disabled people between January 1940 and August 1941 (before the Holocaust began), was absolutely legal...

They had a permit...

Check out these pristine and beautifully calligraphed documents that list thousand of people that are legally killed because they were physically and mentally disabled (document from https://www.ushmm.org/).

I hope that the event that will open your eyes on what is happening, won't be...
... the filed paperwork to murder your son because a threat to genetic purity ...
... the filed paperwork to murder your daughter because "useless" to society ...
... the filed paperwork to murder your mother because "unworthy of life"...
... the filed paperwork to murder your father because physically handicapped ...
... the filed paperwork to murder your spouse because considered "mentally ill" ...

...

I hope I will get back to share fun and cheerful quilting projects next week...

My heart goes out to people that are trying to spread love despite the sorrow and pain we see around us...
I will try to do the same!!

I first heard of the 70273 project from your blog some time ago. I have been stitching on one and finding it very hard emotionally. I want to do it, and I will, but it is a truly painful experience for me. I have several family members that would have been considered unfit due to health/ mental struggles and it causes my heart to grip in sadness/anger/and fear when I think about anyone getting to decide if anyone else is: "fit to live"Thank you for all the work you do. We must keep working for the good.

I know how you feel. I work in the biomedical research field and every day I see people struggling with their health and those people would be surely described as "unfit" according to those absurd rules... I see their loving families walking next to them, and I think how cruel would it be if those rules would still be in place... Let's keep our hearts open and our eyes open as well!! Love and hugs!!
